Overview

About Pipeline

Pipeline is an innovative tool designed specifically for home service companies to maximize lead generation by identifying anonymous website visitors. Unlike traditional methods that rely on form submissions, Pipeline allows you to detect and capture vital information about visitors who browse your site without filling out any forms. This means you can potentially identify up to 40% of your website traffic, significantly outperforming the industry average conversion rate of around 4%. With Pipeline, you can transform your anonymous traffic into actionable leads, filling your sales pipeline with valuable contact information such as names, emails, and addresses. This tool seamlessly integrates with popular CRM systems, enabling you to automate follow-ups via email, calls, text messages, postcard drops, or even door knocking. By leveraging Pipeline, home service contractors can boost their customer engagement and increase their chances of closing more deals, ultimately enhancing their business growth.

About Playwriter

AI agents cannot browse the web properly. They either have no browser access, or they get a fresh Chrome with no logins, no extensions, and instant bot detection. Playwriter gives them your actual browser session instead. One Chrome extension, full automation API, everything you are already logged into. Includes accessibility snapshots (5-20KB instead of 100KB+ screenshots), a debugger with breakpoints, live code editing, network interception, and video recording. Works with any MCP client: Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and more. Open source, MIT licensed.
